Vought covers the incident up, however, at a press conference by claiming that A-Train was attending to a bank robbery. This abuse, however, comes at a price when he accidentally kills Robin Ward by running through her. During his time on the team, he abused Compound V to maintain his status as the fastest man alive, something that would come at the cost of his own life and health.Ī-Train has a history of abusing Compound V - a chemical substance engineered by Vought International - to ensure he is the fastest speedster in the world. After leaving Teenage Kix, A-Train attended Godolkin University and upon graduating, he was drafted into the Seven, replacing Mister Marathon. At some point, he became a member of Teenage Kix where he entered into a relationship with another member named Popclaw. Reggie's superhuman speed activated at an early age when he outran the bullets of a deadly shooting towards his home and as he grew up this ability allowed him to become a celebrity for Vought International under the name A-Train and aspired to become a superhero to support his family and also do good. He eventually became Reggie's personal trainer after his powers began to develop.

Because of this, his older brother Nathan raised him. Reggie's father died when he was very young and his mother had to work two jobs. It is implied that he grew up poor during his childhood.
